The scope work includes the construction of two 2-story duplexes with garages.Applicant(s): Christopher Leersen - christopher@abode-ab.comRequested Variation(s):1. Section 16-36.012 (BeltLine Sidewalk and Supplemental Zone Table)This is a request to reduce the required clear zone from 10’ to 6’ on Kenyon Street. A six-foot sidewalkclear zone will match residential single-family context of the existing sidewalk.2. Section 16-36.011(3a) – Properties is adjacent to the BeltLine Corridor Shall have a minimum 20-foot-widebuffer along any part of the property adjacent to the BeltLine Corridor.This is a request to encroach into the 20’ BeltLine Buffer. The proposed construction in the buffer is notvertical, but merely a horizontal driveway, no walls or otherwise. The first portion of any vertical constructionis 26' away. My rear property line is set back westward 10.49' from the adjacent neighbor, thereby posingas a preexisting and natural buffer. This is a non-conforming R5 lot where the underlying zoning allows a 7'or even 4' setback for an ADU. 7,500 is the minimum R5 lot size and these are both less than 5,000. This lotconstraint cannot be underestimated in terms of planning a reasonable duplex. I am excited to deliver fourmodest attached homes—1,500 square foot is a product size that has a small market presence in this producttype. There is already a significant synergy and efficiency by utilizing a shared. driveway down the centerproperty line. Strictly following the 20' buffer would constitute over 20% of the entire property‐‐a verysignificant taking of land.Even with a reduced front setback from 30' to the block average of 18' that would leave only 62' of buildablearea for vehicles, rear porch and heated space. The topography slopes down eastward and therefore do notlend itself to a frontloaded garage, moreover our zoning code is appropriately and strongly encouraging rearor side loaded garages. Other administrative variations to this setback have been granted to a single‐familyproject of mine on this block for its porch. Other variations to the buffer have been granted to others aroundthe Beltline. When the TAD was being evaluated and debated in 2005 it was promised that single‐family lots'zoning would be unaffected by the Beltline.

Section 16-36.013 – Supplemental Zone/ A five feet minimum supplemental zone is required whenlocated adjacent to sidewalk-level residential uses or located along streets which function as an arterialor collector.This is a request to eliminate the supplemental zone. Decatur street is classified as a minor arterial street.Due to existing building location, a 5-foot supplemental zone cannot be provided without reducing streetfurniture and sidewalk width.3. Section 16-36.014(7) – Requires 30% fenestration on local roads, and 65% of fenestration onArterials/Collectors/BeltLine CorridorThis is a request to decrease fenestration on Daniel Street from 30% to 14.2%; on Howell Street from 30%to 1.8%; and on Decatur Street from 65% to 21.6% based on technical & feasibility complications associatedwith adding additional openings to an existing building’s structural walls. Additionally, accommodation ofadditional fenestration is impractical for the purposes of layout of shelving, coolers, and back of housestorage associated with the grocery use.4. Section 16-36.017(1b) – Driveway curb cuts shall not be permitted on any street that functions at thelocation on the right-of-way in question as an arterial street or collector street when access may beprovided from a local street except for hotels and hospitals.Decatur Street is a minor arterial street, but adjacent developments are showing driveway cuts. To keepfrontage consistent with surrounding developments, a one-way driveway cut is proposed.5. Section 16-36.020(5b) – Off-street parking shall not be located between a building and the street withoutan intervening building.The subject property is surrounded by three streets with a single building within the lot. Since the buildingcannot be moved, there is no way to prevent the parking from being between the street and the building.

3July 2021New Business: 58 Peachtree Memorial Drive, NW – PLACE MAKER DESIGNThe property is zoned RG-3.

The Sidewalk and Supplemental Zone Table requires the Street Furnitureand Tree Planting Zone minimum width to be 5’. The table requires the Sidewalk Clear Zone Minimumwidth to be 10’.This is a request to reduce the Street Furniture and Tree Planting Zone to 2’ and the Sidewalk Clear Zone to6’. The new development will be working within the existing conditions. We propose to match the existing 2’Street Furniture and Tree Planting Zone. We propose to increase the existing 4’ sidewalk width to 6’ in frontof the new building, then taper back to 4’ on either side of the new building. As pedestrians travel on thesidewalk from the end of Peachtree Memorial Drive to Peachtree Street, the goal is to reduce the side-toside jog of different size sidewalks and street furniture and tree planting zones, therefore we are requestingthe reduction in both the Street Furniture and Tree Planting Zone and the Sidewalk Clear Zone to better alignexisting and new sidewalks.2. Section 16-36.017. – Developments with only one street frontage, which is greater than or equal to 300’ inlength is allowed two driveways curb cuts.This is a request for three driveway curb cuts.

There is not aconnection from one of the existing driveways to the new building location as there is a building in the wayas shown on the survey. The new building needs to be constructed in the location proposed to stay out ofthe Peachtree Creek flood plain.New Business: 890 Dill Avenue, SW – 890 DILL LLCThe property is zoned NC-8.

MRC alsolimits block sizes in Section 16-34.011(2), however, per Section 16-36.011(1), the future street plansreferenced by the BeltLine Overlay supplant any other block face requirements. The Atlanta BeltLine Subarea9 Street Framework Plan includes new roads circulating through the property and extending across theproposed BeltLine spur trail. The development proposal includes connections through the site to theproposed BeltLine spur trail in the configuration noted, however, the north/south road internal to the projectwill not be publicly accessible. Due to the nature of the proposed development and the orientation of thedata yard internal to the project, strict compliance with the future street plan is not necessary.2. Section 16-36.011(10)(f)– Shall not locate off-street parking areas or loading docks between any buildingand said space except in cases where meeting this would require the development to be in conflict with therequirements of section 16-36.016 or section 16-36.020.This is variation to allow parking and loading adjacent to the BeltLine corridor or railroad right-of way.The project includes on street parallel parking and loading along the proposed BeltLine spur trail along theeastern property boundary. A portion of the proposed parking will be an interim condition only until theproposed office building fronting on West Marietta Street is constructed to provide replacement sharedparking. The parking and loading along the southern portion of the site is necessary to provide access to anoffice component of the project that will front on the BeltLine. The project has internalized the data yard andelectrical equipment so that it is not abutting Herndon Street, West Marietta Street or the BeltLine spur trailwhich challenges locations for accessible parking and loading.3. Section 16-36.011(10)(g) – Properties adjacent to the BeltLine corridor or any railroad right-of-way with anexisting or proposed multi-use trail shall include an entrance to all adjacent uses which are visible anddirectly accessible etc.For security purposes, the project will be fenced abutting the proposed BeltLine spur trail, which impairs theability to have direct access to the BeltLine.
